I found a Pelican kayak listed on Craigslist for $40. It has a 3 foot split in the seam on the port(left) bow.

I went an checked it out last night and wound up getting it for $30.


I don't know yet what model it is yet but it's about 10ft long. On the aft deck it has a screw out deck plate, the cover for it is missing.

My plan is to take every thing off of it so that I can repair the seam and make some modifications like adding a bait well, rod holders, tackle tray storage and a trolling motor.

It's all scratched up. It looks like it might have spent some time washing up against a bank or something but it can be made serviceable.

It's perfect for cutting holes in.

I paid $30 for the Kayak last night then bought $50 worth of tools and material to fix it this morning.

I'll post updates here as the project progresses.
